Summary, etc. |
Fungal biomass, being organic waste, could be an excellent source of protein, carbohydrate and minerals. However, it has not been exploited fully until now. Efficient management of this waste can not only address the environmental impact on its disposal but also yield value-added metabolites. In the present study, in order to explore its potential, we subjected dead fungal biomass of Aspergillus niger SKN1 as substrate for both fermentative and enzymatic biodegradation, respectively by potent proteo-chitinolytic bacteria Alcaligenes faecalis SK10 and its enzyme cocktail. The results revealed that reasonable amount of protease and chitinase could be biosynthesized by the fermentative mode of utilization, while a mixture of amino acid, peptides and low-molecular weight amino-sugar (mono and oligomeric form of N-acetylglucosamine) could be generated through enzymatic hydrolysis. The physicochemical condition of both the bioprocess was subsequently optimized through statistical approach. The projected utilization of waste zero-valued fungal biomass offer a sustainable and environmentally sound method for production of microbial metabolites and large scale execution of the same could be proficient and in tune with the principle of circular economy. |
